Verb
en-verb|continu|ing

1. transitive to proceed with (doing an activity); to prolong (an activity).

#: Shall I continue speaking, or will you just interrupt me again?
#: Do you want me to continue to unload these boxes?

1. intransitive to resume

#: When will the concert continue?

Usage notes
In the transitive sense, continue may be followed by either the present participle or the infinitive; hence use either "to continue writing" or "to continue to write".
As continue conveys the sense of progression, it is pleonastic and incorrect to follow it with "on" (as in "Continue on with what you were doing").

Synonyms
(transitive: prolong (an activity)): carry on, go on with, proceed with
(intransitive: resume): carry on, go on, proceed, resume
